ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Johnny Manziel stretched out both of hisarms and ran off the field as if he was flying.

With the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback known as JohnnyFootball, Texas A&M certainly is soaring in the SEC.

Manziel tiptoed the sideline for a 23-yard touchdown on thefirst drive of the Cotton Bowl, the first of his four touchdownsas part of his bowl-record 516 total yards and the Aggies cappedtheir first SEC season with a 41-13 win over 12th-rankedOklahoma on Friday night.

"To come in and go against a Big 12 rival and do everything wewanted as a team, and send these seniors out with a win, wecouldn't feel any better," Manziel said after his first gamesince becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman.

With first-year coach Kevin Sumlin and their young starquarterback, the Aggies (11-2) broke the SEC record with their7,261 total yards this season (the first over 7,000 after 633 inCowboys Stadium). They also averaged more than 40 points a game.

And they capped their debut season with an overwhelming victoryin the only postseason game matching teams from those powerconferences. It is the Aggies' first 11-win season since 1998,when they won their only Big 12 title.

The chants of "S-E-C!, S-E-C!" began after Manziel's 33-yard TDpass to Ryan Swope with 4 minutes left in the third quarter fora 34-13 lead. They got louder and longer after that.

"I think tonight was really indicative of this season," Sumlinsaid. "It's one of the teams I thought in the country that trulygot better every week."

Texas A&M never trailed while winning its last six games. Thatincluded a win at SEC champion Alabama, which plays for the BCSnational title Monday night.

Manziel set an FBS bowl record with his 229 yards rushing on 17carries, and completed 22 of 34 passes for 287 yards.

"Johnny Manziel is everything he was billed to be, expected himto be," said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, who after the game shookthe quarterback's hand and told him "good job."

SEC teams have won the last five Cotton Bowls, all against Big12 teams, and nine out of 10. That included Texas A&M's loss toLSU only two years ago.

Oklahoma, led by quarterback Landry Jones in his 50th careerstart, had 401 total yards.

Jones completed 35 of 48 passes for 278 yards with a touchdownand an interception. He won 39 games and three bowls for theSooners, in a career that started on the same field in the 2009season opener when he replaced injured Heisman winner SamBradford in the first college game at Cowboys Stadium.

Texas A&M led by only a point at halftime, but scored on itsfirst three drives of the second half - on drives of 91 and 89yards before Swope's score on a fourth-and-5 play.

Oklahoma (10-3), which like the Aggies entered the game with afive-game winning streak, went three-and-out on its first threedrives after halftime.

"In the first half, we played together as a team, limited them,used the clock, scored. That's how you have to play them. In thesecond half it totally broke down offensively and defensively,"Stoops said. "We had guys plenty of times in position to make aplay. Couldn't make a play."

Already with a 24-yard gain on an earlier third down on theiropening drive, the Aggies had third-and-9 when Manziel rolled tohis left and took off. When he juked around a defender and gotnear the sideline, he tiptoed to stay in bounds and punctuatedhis score with a high-step over the pylon for a quick lead.

Officials reviewed the touchdown play, but it was clear by thereplay shown on the huge video screen above the Cowboys Stadiumfield that Manziel stayed in bounds.

"There is too much talk about how you perform after the Heismanand about the layoff and all of that," said Manziel, who set anSEC record with 4,600 total yards in the regular season. "Therewasn't anything holding us back. No rust, there was no nothing.We played as a unit. ... To go out and win 11 games and do whatwe've done, is impressive."

Manziel added a 5-yard TD on a bootleg play in the secondquarter, and capped the scoring with a 34-yard pass to UzomaNwachukwu with 9 minutes left in the game.

The first TD run was Manziel's school-record 20th of the season.He became only the fourth FBS quarterback with 20 TDs rushingand 20 passing in the same season.

The other 20-20 quarterbacks were Auburn's Cam Newton andFlorida's Tim Tebow, who like Manziel are Heisman winners fromthe SEC, and Nevada's Colin Kaepernick.

Oklahoma needed drives of 16 and 18 plays to get a pair of fieldgoals by Michael Hunnicutt (23 and 24 yards). Jones threw a6-yard TD pass to Justin Brown just before halftime to make it14-13.

Jones set Cotton Bowl records when he had 23 completions and 30attempts (for 175 yards) by halftime.

Ben Malena (7 yards) and Trey Williams (30 yards) had the TDruns to cap the long scoring drives in the third quarter for theAggies.

Manziel was picked off in the second quarter after his bootlegmove and a throw that hit Malcome Kennedy in the hands in theend zone and deflected into the air. Javon Harris grabbed theinterception.

The Sooners then crossed midfield before Jones had a passintercepted by Dustin Harris and returned to the Oklahoma 48.

That A&M drive started with a little trickery, Manziel holdingthe ball down in his left hand while faking a throw with hisright hand. He then pitched to Kenric McNeal, who threw a20-yard pass to Mike Evans. Two plays later, Manziel had hisbootleg TD run.

Oklahoma was in the Cotton Bowl for only the second time. It wasthe first bowl matchup between the former Big 12 rivals, but the17th consecutive season they have played each other.

The Sooners had won 11 of 13 since Bob Stoops became theircoach. That included a 77-0 Oklahoma win in 2003 that was themost-lopsided loss in Texas A&M history.

Sumlin was the A&M offensive coordinator in 2002 when the Aggiesupset the top-ranked Sooners. The next year, Sumlin was hired byStoops as an assistant, and he stayed there five seasons beforegoing to Houston as head coach and then the Aggies.

"Words can't describe how I feel," said Damontre Moore, A&M'sleading tackler who has already said he will bypass his seniorseason for the NFL draft. "I'm just overwhelmed with excitementand joy, just to get such a big win, all the goals that we setfor ourselves at the beginning of the season, to see them beaccomplished."
